Assumptions

Writer's Note: I wrote this poem awhiiiiiile ago for a friend who was going through a certain situation_ circa 2005. It's funny because they are still very much together!

Wow, i've matured a lot with my writing, but it's still the same message: When you assume you [make an ass out of yourself and me.]

Niggas constantly think, that they could disrespect a chick
9 out of 10 that's the reason they couldn't keep a bitch.
They talk about how much they care
and for you- 'this & that'
but from the start you labeled me as them girls from your past.
You never wanted to be my man, never wanted to commit
and the minute I pack my shit it's, 'fuck you, you stupid bitch'.
But no matter what you had thought of me
and the secrets you thought i'd kept-
I stayed 100% with you, I never wanted to be like them.
I tried to hold you down and ride out until the end,
but all of our tears aren't worth this-
thanks for caring. . . or so you said.
You told me that everyone knew of my name,
but a thirsty bitch is still up in your face claiming your name.
I wake up every morning to seeing your face
and still you wanna assume and call me fake.
Fake? Are you serious?
Why you still even deal with me?
You a real nigga, right?
Well real niggas deal with real pussy.
And all this time you claiming you ain't the average nigga,
but it takes something like this to tell me how you really feel, nigga?
I don't ever want to leave you,
I don't want anyone else's heart!
What ever made me think that you would've mended my broken heart?
I needed you to need me, I wanted you to love
I thought you cared for me more than 'them'?
I thought I was number 1?
Well damn, I guess I was assuming, I guess this was all a dream. . .
I never wanted to wake up from you,

but Love isn't always what it seems.

Ms. UnWorthy You Are.

Guaranteed wife material
A rare breed is what he created
While my smile flies off the shelves,
your tactics are clearly outdated.
My pump hits the ground and the Red Sea that once was parts again;
Pussy so sweet the devil himself proclaimed it a national sin.
I win.

You strut with insecurity and speak aloud to hinder your true self,
lipstick smears on collars of shirts
dampness of tears, begging him not to go-
& you represent today's WOMAN?
Your hoe'ish demeanor will give you the materials in which you desire-
my heart beats to the sound of his baritone and together we're inspired.
Conversations of our future fill the walls of our domain
while UnWorthy sits at home alone, depressed, disgusted, ashamed.
I win.

& although who you are made me everything I am
I could give a damn about your brokenheart homewrecker-
you knew he was my man.
So this is for all the 'wifeys'
dedicated, forgiving, and true-
be careful putting your trust in someone,
who doesn't have respect for you.

Know Your Position!



I use to be one of those women who always wanted to make herself known in a relationship. Known to other women, that is. You know- young, dumb, & ready to knock a bitch out. The thirst coming off these broads nowadays are ridiculous, smh. This is the age of social networking, tablets, bbm's, computerized voicemails [yes, you can have a totally different number/ voicemail on your pc rather than an actual phone]. & you would think that a 'woman' would respect the fact that you are listed as 'Wifey' in all of the above.

0_o NOT.

I have become victim to, 'Why is this bitch calling you 'boo' on your facebook' to the 'it's 10pm, why's your friend calling you so late?' It got to the point where I realized these GIRLS lack morals. I know where I stand and WHO I am. The AUDACITY of me to question those things. A woman's love for her significant other goes beyond petty fights, checking phone bills, snooping through emails, etc. When you have substance, a brick FOUNDATION, nothing nor no one could ever discredit what you've built. It's pure;- genuine. This is what woman need to get back to- KNOWING YOUR POSITION. Be that woman who is secure & confident- sleek, but knowing. A woman is so caught up in assuming wrong doings of the man she LOVES, that she allows others to decide her fate. We, (as in women who believe in  Monogamy),have to keep up the momentum of long, lengthy, healthy relationships!!! What happened to courtship, developing love, marriage, and family? Let's understand this gift that God's given us- the gift of nourishment. Believe in forever, and it will be.

"Postulated that monogamy, as an institutional union of two persons being in love for one another, is an embodiment of ethical personalistic norm. That norm requires treating a person in a manner appropriate to his or her essential nature. Only monogamous marriage can create adequate context to fulfill it - i.e. to make possible truly human love between two persons.
